I was about to say...."Wait a minute, that one pic is definitely War Craft 2"..LoL. What game is the first pic from though?

Reply to Just how similar to MoM in War of Magic Elemental Forums

Agreed Tormy-. MoM will never "Die". It will always be recognized by us old schoolers as a Classic and Legend in it's time. It's very true that AoW2 was a good successor, just as Elemental will be a even greater successor to both Mom and AoW2. I do believe Elemental will be the new King of this genre, but people will never forget the classic that started it all.

Indeed I do have a old copy of 3dsMax I used to use at work years ago. It might need an update to be compatible (it's a few years old) but I do own it Legally. I've done plenty of custom skins for many other games. Mostly I'm a skinner, not a modeler. I was reading the thread where the one guy made that Excellent Baradur model and it hit me "I wonder if this guy knows he'll be able to custom build his own buildings with the in game editors?". I know somewhere I saw a pic or a vid of s

Modding Questions and maybe Tips in War of Magic Elemental Forums

So far everything I've read that mentions the editors says you'll be able to edit basically the entire game with the editors that ship with it. When I say everything I mean Everything that I've seen them mention. Maps, Races, Buildings, Spells, Units. So far for the Dragonlance Mod I have in mind I can think of some Races right off the bat that will need to be added which will involve new models. Though, at this point not having played the Beta and so far away from launch I can't

You should also be able to build a Spy or some kind of Stealth unit that can march into enemy lands undetected. Not a big unit of course, more like one guy who can sneak around. A invisibility spell would be nice for sneaking a unit through enemy land as well. Hopefully it will work that way and Not just give the unit a defense modifier in combat, though it should do that too. Just stepping into another sovereign's land shouldn't trigger a war though, no. You should have the option th

After watching the videos of the Beta on YouTube I can say with all certainty that Elemental has a Killer soundtrack. I liked the music a lot. Quite soothing in fact. I'm sure the battle music isn't as soothing as the map music. IF I was still into meditation I would fire up the game and turn my monitor off just to here it while I zoned out.

Great Videos. I can't wait to get into the beta action. Now I just have to make sure I can afford the game before the end of September...

We can still get in on the Beta if we Pre-order at Gamestop with cash, right? Or is it something that has to be done online with a credit card?

Honestly, I could see cannons. No muskets though. Even cannons though, in this game anyway, should be fired by concentrated magic and limited to ships and fortifications.

[quote quoting="post"] On a more work demanding side it would be so cool for example for some time to have big battle sites marked with some reamins and for example some undead raising from it , making the place haunted.

Good idea Demi, and nice Diagram CMonkey. Personally though. If I'm a huge Empire and I'm busy smashing a enemy and country C sticks it's nose in to ask me to stop, country C jumps to the top of my list of "Who to whipe out next". [e digicons]:grin:[/e] Then again....I'm Evil [e digicons]}:)[/e]

Reply to Sea Dragons in WOM Ideas Elemental Forums

If we're going to be ferrying men by sea then we should deffintely have the chance to encounter sea monsters and maybe even recruit one or two. Some options would be. Sea Dragons Mer-Men/Mer-Maids Sea Elves Kraken Giant Sharks, Giant Crabs, Giants Snakes, Giant Electric Eels, assoted sea life etc etc Also a handy spell to allow breathing under water so you can explore under water cities/caves/shipwrecks and other structures for lost magics.

If they watch all those movies broken down into 1 hour chunks and get inspired we're going to end up with a game that's 1% Conan, 1% Willow, 1% Dark Crystal, and 97% LotR....LoL. Keep the movies random to spread out the inspiring ideas ;)

Reply to Desperate AI bids in WOM Ideas Elemental Forums

This could be a great idea. Though, I can see a few flaws in it, some of which you already addressed. This algorithm would have to be coupled with quite a few more so it's not guaranteed to happen every other time. Used in conjunction with other plans though this would be great. I used to love playing Rome: Total War as the Romans. Eventually though I stopped playing as the Romans because always in late game the Empire would go into civil war. It was a scripted event to follow history

I believe the reason the trees look different from the rest of the objects on the map is because the trees are Part of the map while the other black outlined objects were "placed" on the map.

I think it would be best if you could name your successor regardless of succession. If you pass over a first born then they should probably get angry.
